Fantasy Tip: Despite the team's incredible 3-0 start, someone like Yates wouldn't move the needle for fantasy owners, though if anyone could squeeze a "W" out of that situation it'd have to be head coach Bill Belichick.

Houston Texans QB Tom Savage has had an impressive first week of training camp, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. "He's really worked hard to change his body, become stronger, become quicker, quicker release," O'Brien said. "He has a much better knowledge of our offense. It takes a while for that position. The only thing Tom needs is an opportunity. Tom is a good football player and he's put a lot of time in to get to where he is right now." Savage is competing with QBs Brandon Weeden and T.J. Yates to serve as the backup to QB Brock Osweiler.

Fantasy Tip: If Brian Hoyer is healthy, he'll be the starting quarterback this weekend; if he's not, then Brandon Weeden would probably be the leading candidate to start. Hoyer would be worth considering, but Weeden should be avoided. Stay tuned.

Fantasy Tip: Brian Hoyer and Brandon Weeden will be candidates to start for the final two weeks of the regular season, so owners should keep an eye out on the situation to see which player starts. Both quarterbacks have played well at times this season but they are not great fantasy options.

Houston Texans QB T.J. Yates (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the team's Week 15 game and will miss the rest of the season.

Fantasy Tip: Brian Hoyer and Brandon Weeden are options to start in Week 16 depending on how Hoyer recovers from his concussion. Neither are strong option for fantasy owners and should be passed over in most leagues.

Fantasy Tip: With Yates and Shorts out, Brandon Weeden and DeAndre Hopkins could become the new hookup for the Texans. Nate Washington and Ryan Griffin may also see more targets. Brian Hoyer may return next week, though, so stay tuned to Houston's quarterback situation.

Fantasy Tip: This could be a serious injury for Yates, but nothing is official yet. With Yates out, Brandon Weeden takes over as the Texans' starting quarterback. This is an avoidable situation as long as Brian Hoyer isn't starting.

Fantasy Tip: Yates ($4,500, 9.0% of cap) has been adequate in guiding the Texans to several wins this year, but his fantasy ceiling is limited. You should downgrade all of Houston's receivers as a result, but DeAndre Hopkins remains a must-start in traditional leagues. Indy is a great matchup for quarterbacks this year, but Yates is still a dart throw in daily formats.

Fantasy Tip: The Colts are one of the best fantasy matchups for quarterbacks, and although Yates will be dirt cheap on FantasyScore, he's still too risky to trust. Houston's receiving game will take a hit with Yates in there, although DeAndre Hopkins is still a must-start in traditional leagues.

Houston Texans QB T.J. Yates led the team to a second straight win in Week 11, but head coach Bill O'Brien said Sunday, Nov. 22, that when QB Brian Hoyer (concussion) is healthy Yates will head back to the bench. "Hoyer is our starter," O'Brien said. "When he comes back, when he's healthy, he'll come back in there and we've spoken to T.J. about that."

Fantasy Tip: Yates faces a very favorable matchup in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, should Hoyer has a setback or not be able to go.

Fantasy Tip: Yates has something against the Cincinnati Bengals, as nearly all of his career highlights have come against the Stripes. It's uncertain if he will be needed in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals in place of Hoyer, but he is not a recommended FantasyScore option if he does get the nod.

Atlanta Falcons QB T.J. Yates knows he has to earn the backup quarterback job behind QB Matt Ryan. Yates is in an open competition with QB Sean Renfree. "We are competing at every position every single day. I have to earn my spot on this team, like everybody else," Yates said Saturday, Aug. 15.

Fantasy Tip: In Friday's preseason opener, Yates completed 9-of-15 passes for 105 yards and an interception, while Renfree completed 6-of-7 passes for 68 yards. Yates has appeared in 14 regular season games in his career, but he hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since his rookie season in 2011. Renfree has never appeared in a regular season NFL game.

Fantasy Tip: Yates had thrown 39 percent of his passes for completions prior to this outing, but this was a strong performance and could vault him into the No. 2 slot behind Matt Ryan. Yates carries little fantasy value unless he makes the roster and Ryan gets hurt, so watch the next couple days to see if he survives roster cuts.

The Houston Texans finished organized team activities Friday, June 13, without a starting quarterback. QBs Ryan Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage are competing for three roster spots. Fitzpatrick, who is expected to start Week 1, had a "decent offseason" and has done well picking up a new offense, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Savage hasn't been ruled out for the No. 2 position.

Fantasy Tip: Whoever ends up being the starter in Houston won't be worthy of starter status on your fantasy team. He'll be a bye-week replacement at best.

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien is saying that right now, after the first day of organized team activities Tuesday, May 27, the quarterback competition is wide open between QBs Ryan Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum, T.J. Yates and Tom Savage. The team will look to make sure all of the quarterback repetitions are equal for all four quarterbacks, but they'll look to narrow the focus as the season approaches.

Fantasy Tip: Realistically, this job will come down to Fitzpatrick and Keenum, or whoever performs better this summer and in training camp. Neither QB would be more than a matchup play as a weak QB2, though.
